      Alhambra’s Virtual Book Club features I Know How This Ends by Holly Smale for June (Photo – Amazon.com)

      Some book clubs might become more social than literary. Perhaps that’s the point of Alhambra Library’s virtual approach: check-in every week for a month, and get that novel read.

      By Melanie Hooks

      The Alhambra Page Turners Virtual Book Club has weekly online meetings that dive into that month’s book, exploring a variety of genres, voices, and ideas in a welcoming, relaxed space. Whether you’re an avid reader or just looking to read more consistently, you’re invited to enjoy the lively discussions, fresh perspectives, and a community of fellow book lovers.

      In June the club is reading I Know How This Ends by Holly Smale. The Amazon description reads:

      Margot Wayward is in manically gleeful self-destruct mode. Following the implosion of a ten-year relationship, she’s wilfully derailing her successful career, joyfully taking down men on dating apps, and living in total chaos.

      Until one day, when Margot has a vision of herself with a man she’s never met before. She doesn’t believe in fate. But when Margot meets single-dad Henry, the vision comes true: exactly as she’d foreseen it.

      As her future continues to reveal itself, a glimpse at a time, Margot realises she knows exactly what’s going to happen, and when. And there’s nothing she can do to change any of it.

      So Margot has to decide how to live, how to love again, and how to be herself… Because if you can’t change your destiny, how on earth do you live your present?

      If you would like to join the group, request a Zoom link via email: restaff@alhambralibrary.org. Grab your favorite reading spot, log in, and turn the page.
